here is a bit of help
Now for the led's like i said there is 3 of them
staus 1 status 2 ide
status 1 and 2 MUST blink at all time's
red led (ide) will blink when the ide interface is getting polled
at boot the red ide led will blink once
then the post boot load's,then u will see it blink serval time's >game-loading<
so in short the "board" passed all of it's chk-sum's
Now if the green status led 2 dose not "flash"?
make sure u53 is good and in the right way,try to have a good spare on hand
any build will do (golden tee/buck hunter) any u53...for now
i have never seen the rs232 stop this,but the bat back-up will
this why i remove them for testing
status light 1 dose not flash u have problem's with
the ide interface chip u2/u15/u26
as these chips are tied to the main bus and they are polled first
they will cause a "lock-up" of the board ie :staus1: not blinking
the audio and vidoes are on status #2
so they are not the problem
as status 1 led and the ide interface are problem childern
i will put them in chapter #3
this will inculde the "special switch setting's" NOTE THESE ARE FOR BOARD TEST OLNY
AND MUST BE RETURNED TO THERE NORMAL STATE FOR PROPER GAME USE
